The effects of autophagy on the replication of Nelson Bay orthoreovirus.

Background: Nelson Bay orthoreovirus (NBV) was first isolated over 40 years ago from a fruit bat in Australia. Normally, NBV does not cause human diseases, but recently several NBV strains have been associated with human respiratory tract infections, thus attracting clinical attention. Autophagy, an evolutionarily conserved process in eukaryotic cells, degrades intracellular substrates, participates in multiple physiological processes, and maintains cellular homeostasis.

Objective To prepare a polyclonal antibody against S3 of Nelson Bay virus (NBV). Methods The E.coli BL21 (DE3) competent cells were transfected with the constructed Pris His MB-S3 recombinant plasmid.

Recombinant fimbriae protein of Porphyromonas gingivalis induces an inflammatory response via the TLR4/NF‑κB signaling pathway in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells.

Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) is a periodontal pathogen that may accumulate with other organisms in subgingival plaque biofilms and is associated with periodontal disease. P.
